When it comes to delivering both an easy-to-deploy and
easy-to-use solution for network, inventory and asset management,
NetSupport DNA
ticks all the right boxes. Install the NetSupport DNA server to store
key data; the console to access and report on your enterprise;
and, finally, deploy the client manually or automatically
onto each device you want to manage. From start to finish, within 30 minutes
you can be monitoring, controlling
and reporting on your enterprise. Add a DNA Gateway at remote locations to
ensure a full picture of your
wider enterprise. So, what does NetSupport DNA offer?
First, a detailed hardware inventory
of each supported device on the network; then a full software inventory
and licensing summary for all desktop applications installed
(including Windows Store apps); and even proactive monitoring of files located
on each PC.
For example, are Word documents being stored locally instead of on the server?
Are MP3 files filling local disk space? And finally,
a history module highlighting hardware and software changes over time.
As you would expect, purchase details and associated ongoing costs
can also be recorded against all hardware and software purchases.
SNMP-enabled devices such as network printers and routers
can also be discovered and added to the enterprise inventory summary.
The application metering module in NetSupport DNA
records application usage per user. It also provides the tools to actually
control
application usage, including limiting use by department
or by time of day. NetSupport DNA can do the same with internet access: it monitors
activity by users and, where needed, can limit
access by time of day and department.
Lists of approved or restricted websites can be applied for the enterprise.
The software distribution module allows application packages to either be
pushed to target devices automatically, or published
for a department - to be pulled down by users when needed. NetSupport DNA even includes a simple
automation tool
for unattended package installations. NetSupport DNA
can track and manage users, record activity against a user account,
support custom user detail forms, deliver acceptable use policies and much more.
NetSupport DNA also provides a range of account management tools
for resetting passwords or unlocking network accounts.
An alerting module is also included which will proactively highlight
any important changes across the enterprise. Hundreds of alert types are possible:
from disk space being low, warnings if key services stop -
through to alerts if new applications have been installed on a user's PC.
The energy monitoring module reports on energy usage by device
and includes a scheduled power management feature to ensure appropriate devices
can be automatically
powered on and, more importantly, powered off at night.
A small step to help reduce an organisation's eco footprint!
Simple yet effective endpoint security is also included,
allowing a company to either restrict use to only approved USB devices
or control memory stick access by user or department.
Printer monitoring reports on printer usage and costs across
the organisation. Costs per page can be set by
individual printer and print job types and can help with cost management.
The reporting module ensures reports are scheduled and produced when needed
and is supported by a powerful query tool that allows
IT managers to create bespoke reports and views
using a simple drag-and-drop interface. NetSupport DNA also includes tools to chat with
users who need support,
deliver messages in real time to users or departments -
and, with the optional remote control module, deliver hands-on support
whenever needed.
A supporting Service Desk module is also available to complete the full suite of tools.
For mobile technicians, key inventory data can be accessed from anywhere
with the supporting DNA mobile consoles for Android
and iOS. Even scan a barcode with the mobile app
and instantly view all key system details.
NetSupport DNA delivers a powerful IT
Asset Management suite without the costs for installation or training
associated with other solutions. NetSupport DNA is
low cost, simple to deploy, easy to use - it keeps all your company data on site
and ensures complete control and security of your network.
